Nuggets tickets on TicketIQ currently average $285 and the get-in price is $66, as the Nuggets look to get another winning streak in the works. They won a season-best four consecutive games before Saturday’s loss.
3/24/2017 Sacramento Kings @ Golden State Warriors | Average Resale Price: $266.79 | Get-in Price: $67
The Warriors are unsurprisingly popular this week, as they make a couple stops in the middle of the country before returning home for Friday’s contest against the Kings. Golden State heads into the week on a three-game winning streak while Sacramento has struggled mightily on the road recently. Warriors vs. Kings tickets currently start from $67 each and average $267, as Golden State looks to take the season series from Sacramento.

The Warriors’ first destination of their quick road trip will be in Oklahoma City. Unfortunately for all parties involved, Steve Kerr’s squad will be without Kevin Durant, who remains sidelined with a knee injury. While Golden State is on its way to having home-court advantage through the playoffs, Oklahoma City is hoping to move up the standings to get home-court advantage of their own in the first round. Thunder tickets at Chesapeake Energy Arena currently average $259 and the get-in price is $43, as Russell Westbrook and company look to advance their winning streak to six games and avoid a regular season sweep at hands of the Warriors.
3/24/2017 Cleveland Cavaliers @ Charlotte Hornets | Average Resale Price: $232.25 | Get-in Price: $46

As the Hornets look to right the ship, Cleveland is in search of sweeping the four-game season series from Charlotte.
3/21/2017 Golden State Warriors @ Dallas Mavericks | Average Resale Price: $219.65 | Get-in Price: $53
The Mavericks are fighting for a playoff spot, and they need a winning streak like the one that they put together at the beginning of the month. Unfortunately for Dallas, the Warriors are coming to town, and the Mavericks have yet to defeat them in two tries this season. Mavericks tickets on TicketIQ average $220 and the get-in price is $53, as Klay Thompson looks to again lead all scorers in a contest against Dallas.
